Just read the Love blog...you know, there are lots of things one can tie to humanity through love...that is a very deep and interesting piece! Maybe you should start a thread to get different opinions about where love "is" in the mind of an atheist?? I would dig around my brain and try to come up with something for sure!

Hi Shawn! Thanks for adding me! I love this website because it's a safe haven for us all to speak our minds, and not have to debate why we don't believe in the big dude in the sky! Glad you are here, and look forward to reading your posts :)

Hey... twice in one week. You are too kind :)
Yes, this was a long journey. Felt like a comming out when I finally admitted it to my family. Would love to catch up with you, feel free to contact me (you still have my info, right) anytime.

I go by NoGodNik, and am new to Atheist Nexus, but not to Atheism. In fact, if you're interested, type NoGodNik into the address bar of your browser, and skip past the first couple of items on the page (they think I misspelled "NoGoodNik"), you'll see links to my blogs essays. So far, the essays I've posted are on the subject of "faith".

Yes Shawn, I do. I'm no literary giant or literary gnat by if you want to read some of my rantings just Google: The African American Agnostic, that's me. I'm in the process of writing my first book which is directed at the Black church, in all of its manifestations, and asking them to an open dialogue.....stop laughing Shawn!

Hi Shawn and welcome to this friendly meeting place where freethinking atheists recognise that gods are phoney and religion is a fraud used to control people;
and how tragic and inexcusable it is that women and minorities have been oppressed these last two thousand years and more.
